/\This. Some other issues too. Great writeup here... SPITBOMBER — Vintage Wings of Canada

Just my opinion, but an excellent book on combat tactics is Fighter Combat by Robert Shaw. Believe it's freely available online now. Explains all strategies/maneuvers with stories and explanations from the pilots. The Air Combat Tutorial Library This channel is great too, if you're more of a...

LMAO, brilliant!:thumbup:

Thanks. Was wondering, yeah , seemed a tad ludicrous. I think there's a report somewhere on here that it (Spit V)was too unwieldy with 4 cannons. Will see if I can dig it up.

Wasn't the 4 20mm and 4 303 an overload for some of the malta spits of the USS Wasp? I thought they weren't carrying any ammunition and 2 of the cannons were removed as soon as they landed. This was from a flight journal article so take with a liberal amount of salt....

Like you said, though, with the right setup it can be nasty...

Just my opinion, but the gun has a low muzzle velocity and needs to be manually loaded-will need to fly higher, straighter runs if you want to get more than 1 round off -not sure of armour on the 25 but think you'd get chewed pretty good, it's a big target too.Ju88 was washed out for the same...

With regards to the gun, maybe...don't think I'd want to try tank-busting in a B-25H. Very few machines saw combat with the 75mm very late in the war. The lion's share was done with the mk 101 and mk103 30mm cannons, which was effective for most situations till the end, I believe. That...

I did mean the 129... I could be biased though, I read Panzerjager by Martin Pegg which have me quite the liking for this little bird...gave an effective counter to armored breakthroughs, too.

Summarises what's been said, but a bit of new info, too.. -Fighter Combat-Robert Shaw

Huh. Opposite of what I would have expected, if for no other reason than intimidation purposes. TY sir!
